Rothenberger External Tube Bending Spring for Copper, 8mm/5/16 - 25181

Features of the Rothenberger 25181 tube bending spring

The Rothenberger tube bending spring for copper, model 25181, is a professional tool specifically designed for bending 8mm (5/16) copper pipes. This accessory is essential for plumbers and HVAC professionals who need to create precise bends without kinks or deformation of the pipe. The spring is designed for external use, meaning it is applied to the outer surface of the copper pipe, providing uniform support during the bending operation.

Advantages of using the tube bending spring

Using the Rothenberger 25181 tube bending spring offers numerous benefits during plumbing installation and maintenance work. This tool allows for uniform and precise bends, maintaining the internal section of the pipe unchanged and thus ensuring optimal fluid flow. The spring prevents crushing and kinking of the pipe during bending, problems that could compromise the efficiency of the system and cause flow restrictions. Furthermore, using the spring allows for tighter radius bends than would be possible freehand, increasing design flexibility in installations in confined spaces.

Practical Applications

The Rothenberger tube bending spring is used in numerous professional contexts and applications:

• Installation of domestic heating systems
• Creation of air conditioning systems
• Assembly of residential and commercial plumbing systems
• Installation of refrigeration systems
• Maintenance and repair of existing piping
• Creation of connections for boilers and water heaters
• Creation of solar thermal systems

Technical Specifications

The Rothenberger 25181 tube bending spring is characterized by:

• Compatible diameter: 8mm (5/16)
• Type: external spring
• Material: high-quality tempered steel
• Finish: anti-rust surface treatment
• Length: optimized to ensure uniform bends
• Flexibility: calibrated for the right balance between rigidity and adaptability

How to use

To correctly use the Rothenberger 25181 tube bending spring, follow these simple steps:

• Insert the 8mm copper pipe inside the spring, ensuring that the area to be bent is completely covered
• Extend the spring a few centimeters beyond the point where the bend will start and end
• Gently bend the pipe with the spring applied, exerting gradual and uniform pressure
• Once the bend is complete, remove the spring by rotating and sliding it off the pipe

Maintenance and storage

To ensure the longevity of the Rothenberger 25181 tube bending spring and maintain its performance over time, it is advisable to clean it after each use, removing any residues or dust. It is important to store the spring in a dry environment to prevent oxidation and keep it in a straightened position to avoid permanent deformations that could compromise its effectiveness. With proper maintenance, this tool will guarantee professional results for a long time, representing a lasting investment for every plumbing professional.
